I know this is a bit controversial subject. I have an '81 eagle sx/4 and an amc 360 sitting at my house and have been planning and gathering parts to put them together. But the main problem is the motor mounts, and hanging the diff. from them. I know it has been done before and i was in contact with a guy from Canada somewhere who was goin to fab. some for me. But he no longer answers emails..... I have no idea if someone at sometime had a patent for them or not but i would like to get a hold of a set somhow.....OR detailed pics of a set to make my own.......OR Would the people at Bulltear be up for a challenge for a new product????? :-|
I dont want to point fingers at anyone here, but i do know that one member has a set that they are holding on to with a tight grip.
I prolly could do it myself, just take a lot of time and work without a few pieces.
Just a thought, Thanks.

I'ts been a long time(10 yrs or so) but I remember seeing a mag do that same thing, might have been Fourwheeler or Petersons.

Yup. They put a 360 with a special 390 intake in an eagle wagon.
Here's a website about it: http://www.users.nac.net/gr/eagleweb/v8eagle/
There was also some good info on the amc eagle nest:

Tight fist? naw just don't want to loose them, myself I have about a hundred hours in them, but I'll tell ya what, I'll send them to MC so he can use them as a pattern to make new ones. Maybe he could improve on them, of course it all boils down to money, if after he manufactures them can he recoup the cost and make a profit, Eagles are not in high demand. Jeff

Would you be able to get pics and measurements of your mounts? That would help a bunch, and an extra $1,000 for parts i need. :wink:
Cuz the way things are goin it'll be going together in about a month. Just tore the motor apart today to do work to it. Then it'll take a little while longer till i get everything else done to the car befor it goes public.

just for interest here is some pics of the beast a few months ago.
